![]() Otherwise, you should wait until you need them so that you don’t waste time remodeling parts that you may never use again. If you have a common set of 2D parts that you use regularly, then you should convert them now. For more complex parts, you could use this technique to get you started or get you 20-to-80% there, before having to make a few final additions to complete your design. ![]() If you have a lot of prismatic parts to convert, you can apply this technique yourself. In the video above, I have taken a basic 2D drawing and converted it to 3D in a few simple steps in Onshape. ![]() It’s definitely a worthwhile exercise to recreate your most frequently used 2D drawings in 3D, so you can reuse them, check that they fit correctly, make modifications quickly and calculate accurate assembly mass properties – not to mention many other beneficial uses. Most of these may be obsolete, from products you stopped making years ago, but some may still be relevant today and you may want to reuse them in your 3D designs. If you started your design career on a 2D CAD platform, then chances are you have hundreds (if not thousands) of DWG files.
